Chestnut
Hi Chestnut Class. I am so sorry that we have had to close and we won't be together in class for a while. Until we are back in class together we will be learning in different ways. Each day there will be 3 live inputs on Microsoft Teams:
9.15am Maths
10.30am Reading
1.00pm Writing
After each input there will be work uploaded to this page for you to complete. Once you've completed it you can send it to me: chestnut@westwoodprimaryschool.org
You can also send me questions, ask for more information or ask for usernames and passwords if you have forgotten.
It is really important that you keep learning the best you can whilst at home. I would love to see your work and put it on the website for other children to see.

Geography
We need to understand what is on this new island if we are to live here for some time. Have a look at the map of the island. Can you find all of the places/ objects/ things that are natural (physical)? These are things that have grown or formed without any help from humans e.g. lagoon. Can you find the places/ objects/ things that humans have built? e.g. flags. You can write them in the list and draw a picture of what they look like too.
The Hidden Chest- vocabulary questions
1. Find and copy one word that tells us the Captain was cross.
2. Find and copy one word that tells us Fabio was supposed to be brave.
3. Find and copy one word that tells us Fabio wouldn't come down from the tree.
4. Find and copy one word that tells us Lucky Bob stared at the Captain.
5. Find and copy one word that tells us how Captain Billhook got into the hole.
The Hidden Chest
Can you match the job to each pirate?
Using what we learnt yesterday in geography about the human and physical features of the island, we need to find places to get all the things we need to survive.
Can you remember what humans need to survive?
air
water
food
shelter
You are given the following:
an empty bottle
a net
a pan
a knife
What will you collect to make sure you survive? Where will you get it from? How will you get it?
Draw a picture of what you would collect and write where you would get it from and how you got it.
e.g. draw (bottle of water) I would fill up my bottle in the lagoon.
Christopher Columbus, who is one of the explorers on our trip, has so much knowledge of exploring islands. Login to your Purple Mash (email chestnut@westwoodprimaryschool.org if you have forgotten your login) and check you 2do's. You need to complete the Christopher Columbus Mash Cam. You will need to research some facts about him to put in your speech bubble and take a picture of yourself to put on his face.

The Pirates Next Door
Listen to the story below and then have a go at answering the questions.
Explanation questions
1. Explain why Tilda hoped a family would move in next door.
2. Explain why Grandpa won't get off the ship.
3. Explain why Mum and Dad don't want Tilda to play with the pirate boy.
4. Explain why Miss Pinky called the council.
5. Explain why Miss Divine wanted the pirates to go.
6. Explain why the people from the town liked the pirates at the end of the story.
The first riddle takes us to the Whomping Wood. The trees have delicious apples growing on them as you try to pick one the tree start attacking you! Watch the video below and pretend that you are the characters at the trees. What happened? You are going to write a diary about what happened to you.
Think about:
- what you saw
- what you tried to do
- what happened when you did?
- what did you do to the trees (like the scarecrow)
- what did the trees do back?
- what happened at the end?
Our special word today is the connective 'but'. We can use this in our sentences to say what happened when we did something. e.g. I went to pick a delicious looking apple from the tree but the tree grabbed it back and hit my hand!
